PBS Primetime Programming for the Week of July 19 - Page 4

Part of: PBS in Primetime

8:30 - 9:00PM

NOW on PBS #530.  It’s the Emmy award-winning weekly news magazine. It looks at issues facing our democracy. The show is hosted by David Brancaccio. And, even better, they still send me e-mails (I think that makes me cool and them nice). Thanks, Now, you guys are awesome!

9:00 - 10:00PM

Bill Moyers Journal #1315. It’s Bill Moyers. It’s his 1,315th journal (not really, but I’m not going to explain to you the way in which TV shows are numbered at this point in time, maybe later if you’re nice). He’s a good journalist so I assume this will be good journalism (at least the odds are it will).

10:00 – 11:00PM

Inside – "Rio Carnaval.”  Her name is Rio and she dances on the… no, that can't be right, can it?  My understanding is that Carnaval is kind of like that Mardi Gras thing they do in New Orleans, but that in Rio they do it right.  Right?


 

Saturday, July 25:

11:00PM – 12:00AM

Austin City Limits – "Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings/Carolyn Wonderland." Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, it seems, have a "modern take on classic soul and funk." Carolyn Wonderland has an "incendiary blend of rock, blues and soul." Modern takes? Incendiary blends? Is nothing traditional anymore?

 

Let's assume for a minute that it wouldn't fit in the amphitheatre spot in Magic Kingdom (or that they don't want to remove that as they have plans for it).  Well, in that case I wonder if there's not space between the Beauty & the Beast Show and the Fantasmic amphitheatre at Hollywood Studios.  The big problem there is that it might be the only attraction in the area.  How to fix that…. How to fix that… we'll just have to come up with some other ride to go there too, won't we?
